CARE AND CLEANING
A little care can extend the life of your Remote Trainer and
reduce service costs.
Charging Jacks
Keep the protection caps secured over the charging jacks on
the transmitter and collar. If the collar charging jack becomes
dirty, flush thoroughly with clean tap water. If debris still
remains, you can use the point of a toothpick to loosen
remaining debris. Be careful not to bend the contacts inside
the jack. Important: Be sure to allow the collar jack to dry
thoroughly after washing it before you connect a charger,
or proper charging may not occur.
Contact Point Tightness
Periodically check for tightness. If tightening is necessary,
use the plastic tool that comes with the Remote Trainer.
Antenna
Periodically check for tightness. If it becomes loose, hold it
near the base and tighten by hand.
Cleaning
Wash the collar with clean drinking water, especially after
exposure to brackish, salt, or alkaline water. Use a small
brush to remove any foreign materials around the screws
and contact points.
Extending Battery Life
Caring for your batteries will prolong their useful life
significantly. Don’t leave the Remote Trainer in very warm
areas such as the dashboard of your car when closed in the
sun. Storing any type of batteries at high temperatures can
significantly shorten battery life. Also avoid storing the
batteries in extremely cold areas. Follow the battery
charging instructions on page 21.
